(in versions v2 r7 through v1 r13)
Title
The Oracle Linux 6 operating system must use a virus scan program. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Virus scanning software can be used to protect a system from penetration from computer viruses and to limit their spread through intermediate systems. The virus scanning software should be configured to perform scans dynamically on accessed files. If this capability is not available, the system must be configured to scan, at a minimum, all altered files on the system on a daily basis. If the system processes inbound SMTP mail, the virus scanner must be configured to scan all received mail.
Check Content
Verify an antivirus solution is installed on the system. The anti-virus solution may be bundled with an approved host-based security solution. If there is no antivirus solution installed on the system, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Install an antivirus solution on the system.
